Description: | Signed: yes Description: The subject is painted in uniform, at half-length with head turned to the right, against a light background, which lower down, becomes darker. His full-bearded face, with strong dark eyebrows and eyes, and a trace of a smile, seems friendly, but he does not engage the viewer. He holds a paper in his left hand, whilst his right clasps his jacket. He is lit from the left, and attention is paid to the folds on his right arm, and the play of light on his hat, metal buttons and stripes of rank. Captain Speedy served in the Dundee, Perth and London Shipping Co. 1840-1902 | Subjects: | portrait (William Speedy) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maresea(?), C.
